#3 Try more solutions at the same time

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Try as many solution as you can at the same time to receive your nofitications in time! Some push notification system are still not perfect, so you may experience some late in the same notifications between different platforms. 5 minutes is not so long time for this.

#4 Weekends, freedays and game shows

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Bigger chance on weekends, freedays etc. when you switch yourself to couth potato mode. Just a few seconds to check TA news page on your smart phone between two levels while loading. Game shows are always the best chance full with news, watch them live!

#5 Check smart device notifications

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Make sure the app's notifications are enabled on your smart device in system settings. It's very different on every OS version, but usually you can find it in Settings / Notifications / "app name". Turn on every notification types, enable everything, just in case.

Some users experienced notification problems. Try to restart your smart device, reinstall application, turn off and on notifications, this should help!

#2 IFTTT + RSS Feed - often late, only for secondary

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***IFTTT is a great multi-platform automatizer applicaton. As the name says (If This Than That), if you have any new item on selected RSS feed you will receive a notification, in the app and in e-mail.

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***This solution is much slower than others, but very big chance to unlock the achievement. You have to wait for a big game show, because many articles will be posted during live shows. This is the easiest and simplest way! The best time for this during the E3 week, so once a year in June. The most articles will be posted during the Xbox E3 live event. Simply watch the live event on PC or smart device while TrueAchievements app running on your Xbox One and refresh news page in every 5 minutes (or after every big announcement).

I will create a gaming session for every possible events, not only E3, so make sure you turn on your session notifications for this achievement!On TrueAchievements.com go to Site Settings / Gaming Session Settings / Session notifications. Choose these options:- Boosting gaming session notification: E-mail- Boosting gaming session notification rules: “Achievements on my To-Do list” (and add this cheevo to your list) or “Achievements I need”- Gaming session reminder notification: E-mail- Only notify me for sessions during the times below: No
